Thank for all of your kind comments yesterday. No doubt, this isn't an easy time but the supportive words of all of you help immensely.

The Duo and I mountain biked together this morning, in cool and misty air that is typical of spring here. After climbing up to Hug Hill, the Duo rested side-by-side. This photo is so typical. R is focused on K, and K is focused on me.

Then, I released them, and they sprung into action. K can stick with R for the first step or so. The first photo is the instant that I called them, and they'd both barely started to move toward me.

Later in our ride, some of the mist evaporated as the sun burned through, and the Duo ran together. K had a step on R this time! (but R says that he was "letting her win")

These two are such different dogs from each other but they've forged a bond over the years. K is getting more reticent about playing with rowdy R but they are still happy siblings who enjoy hanging out together.

Yes, I'm sure that R knows all that is happening.The other day our Poppy(tortie puss) had been in a fight, very sore and luckily only one scratch. Felicity looked and searched for her (poppy was snuggled on our bed), and after I lifted Felicity up and showed her Poppy, she walked away quite satisfied.These wonderful photos are giving you memories always, and yes, we all share these days with you. Cheers from Jean.

I always love hearing about them together and stories of their personalities! They seem almost larger than life when I read about them and I admit that I've gotten very attached to both of them. I know I've loved seeing our own dogs' interactions evolve over their years together.

About Me

I live at 8200' in the Front Range of Colorado. I love exploring nature
in the mountains while riding my mountain bike and romping with my
two Labradors. Photography is another passion, including both "normal" photography and trail camera photography of wildlife.

My two dogs are Shyla, a 3-year-old Chocolate Lab, and R, a 7-year-old Black Lab.
